In this primarily Hispanic RMD patient population, many have not only noted a correlation between dietary intake and RMD activity, but are also open to future nutrition-related interventions. As this population experiences poor RMD outcomes and a high rate of lifestyle-related comorbidities, an intervention to optimize healthy eating patterns would likely be beneficial as well as acceptable.
